The list is top heavy with players who can get after the quarterback. There are four defensive ends and outside linebackers in the top 10 with Michael Johnson of the Bengals and Lamarr Houston of the Raiders joining Orakpo and Hardy.

That could work in the Redskins if, as expected, they try to keep Orakpo. The law of supply and demand could kick in as teams looking for a top pass rusher have four options instead of just one or two. That could lower the asking price somewhat.

Regardless, the Redskins are going to have to pay something in the neighborhood of $8 to $10 million per year over about five years in order to keep Orakpo. That’s still a lot of cash and a good chunk of salary cap room.
